The original repairer

Chapter 18: Still Surviving

Shi Chen bought 2,000 kilograms of spiritual rice on credit, and kept 1,080 kilograms for himself. He completed the refining in 26 days.

During the first five days, he refined one furnace a day. As his cultivation level increased, the spiritual power in his dantian became increasingly abundant, and he began to refine two furnaces a day.

His alchemy skills became more and more sophisticated, and his use of spells became more and more handy. In the last few days, he could even refine three furnaces every day.

Shi Chen can now refine a full furnace of fasting pills with only fifty kilograms of spiritual rice.

As long as he refined a few more furnaces and used fifty kilograms of spiritual rice as ingredients, he was confident that he could refine a mid-grade fasting pill. To achieve this result, he needed to have more precise control over his spells and spiritual power.

It was estimated that fifty-one batches of pills could be refined. After refining the fiftieth batch, there were still about eighty kilograms of spiritual rice left, so Shi Chen stopped refining the pills.

During these twenty-six days, I took the fasting pills every day and my mouth was so dry.

Light a fire and cook a delicious meal to fill your stomach and satisfy your taste buds.

Out of fifty batches of fasting pills, three were wasted because the spiritual power was insufficient when he was refining three batches every day.

Forty-seven furnaces of pills were made, all of which were full, including eight bottles and four pills of medium-grade fasting pills.

There are forty-eight bottles of low-grade fasting pills.

Eighteen bottles of low-grade fasting pills were left behind, and the rest were taken to the market to be sold.

Thirty bottles of low-grade Qigong pills sold for thirty spirit stones, and eight bottles of medium-grade Qigong pills also sold for twenty spirit stones.

This time, in less than a month, he spent twenty spirit stones to purchase spiritual rice. He bought one thousand kilograms of spiritual rice himself, which cost thirty spirit stones and he sold it for fifty spirit stones.

There are eighteen bottles of low-grade Qigong pills and four medium-grade Qigong pills left, which are equivalent to nineteen spirit stones. After deducting expenses, the net profit is thirty-nine spirit stones.

Shi Chen never thought that he could earn so many spirit stones.

Song Yu worked diligently for a year and cultivated thirty acres of spiritual fields, but only earned about a hundred spirit stones.

If Shi Chen continues to work on it for three months, he will earn more than Song Yu.

The purpose of earning spirit stones is to better obtain cultivation resources, and the focus is still on improving cultivation.

Shi Chen could only plan to spend fifteen days a month refining pills and fifteen days practicing diligently, striving to reach the second level of Qi Refining within the year.

After practicing day and night, a year passed quickly. Unfortunately, Shi Chen's cultivation level was still at the Qi Refining level.

The harvest of spiritual rice in the last two seasons was even greater than that in the first half of the year, reaching 390 kilograms per mu.

The amount of spiritual rice left over from the surrender every quarter is about 1,100 kilograms.

Song Yu buys two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice from him every month, so he is very enthusiastic about Shi Chen.

The previous agreement was to purchase two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice per season. Later, as Shi Chen became proficient in the art of refining pills and could earn dozens of spirit stones every month, he was definitely happy to purchase the spiritual rice, and Song Yu was also very happy to sell it.

Song Yu had about two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice left over from the spiritual rice he handed over every season. After selling his own spiritual rice, he bought spiritual rice from several spiritual farmers in the sect with whom he had connections at a fair price, and sold it to Shi Chen at a fair price, earning a bottle of low-grade fasting pill in the process.

In half a year, Song Yu earned six more bottles of fasting pills just by reselling them.

To refine forty-five furnaces of elixirs every month, two thousand two hundred and fifty kilograms of spiritual rice were needed. After purchasing two thousand kilograms, there was still a shortage of two hundred and fifty kilograms, which Shi Chen made up with his own spiritual rice.

The success rate of medium-grade Qigong pills is about 30%, and there are more than 160 pills per month, which are worth 16 bottles of medium-grade Qigong pills and 40 spirit stones.

There are about 380 low-grade fasting pills per month, which is 38 bottles, and the value is 38 spirit stones.

After deducting the spiritual rice purchased, I earn 58 spiritual stones per month.

I have to sell a certain amount of Qigong Pills to the Yiwu Pavilion every month to fulfill the sect's contract, so I will make relatively less money.

After handing over this year's spiritual rice, Shi Chen still had more than 200 kilograms of spiritual rice left. He had not spent much spiritual stones in the past six months, and now Shi Chen had more than 260 spiritual stones.

Cultivation resources are essential, and few people practice directly with spirit stones, as this is extremely cost-effective. Directly using spirit stones for cultivation only absorbs 30% to 40% of the spiritual energy, with the rest dissipating in the surroundings, resulting in serious waste.

Any kind of cultivation elixir can achieve the effect of increasing spiritual energy by 30%.

Three bottles of low-grade Qi-nourishing Pills per month, one a day, after more than half a year, his cultivation has reached the perfection of the first level of Qi Refining. Maybe today, or tomorrow, or in a month or two, Shi Chen will be able to break through the first level of Qi Refining and enter the second level of Qi Refining.

Shi Chen prepared five side dishes, packed the food boxes, and left his hut.

He had already found out He Qingqing's address from the sect.

Carrying a food box and thirty kilograms of spiritual rice on his back, Shi Chen came to He Qingqing's cave.

After almost two years, He Qingqing had already cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining. Her previously thin figure had grown. At the age of eleven, she was already about five or six meters tall, tall and beautiful, a young girl in her infancy.

He Laosan's waist is not as bent anymore, he is much whiter and fatter, and he always has a smile on his face.

He Yi is also over eight years old. During next year's sect recruitment, he can enter the outer sect as long as his spiritual roots are tested.

They were all living well. Shi Chen had a meal with them and they exchanged information about their experiences over the past year and a half.

Qingqing's cultivation is quite good. She is actually among the top 30 outer disciples in the same batch. She has a promising future.

Shi Chen had no connections with the people from the other two fishing villages who entered the sect together, so he didn't ask about them.

He also carefully prepared five dishes and a soup, and asked the deacon in charge of spiritual farmers to deliver them to Qingling Cave Mansion. He also gave the deacon a bottle of low-grade Qigong pills and half a bottle of medium-grade Qigong pills.

Human relationships are all like this.

The sect's Qi-nourishing Pill recipe is sold for two hundred low-grade spirit stones, while the Dan Pavilion in the market only sells it for one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

After many conversations with the deacon who sells the elixir recipes at Dantang, I learned that the two recipes with different prices have different levels of details.

The pill recipes sold by the sect are standard ones, which contain detailed step-by-step instructions on medicine selection, purification, fire temperature, and pill-making techniques.

The pill recipes sold in the market outside are missing a lot of information. The recipes are complete, but the instructions are not that detailed. It can only be said that a skilled alchemist can know how to make the pills at a glance. The success or failure depends on his or her own experience in alchemy.

An apprentice of the Dao of Alchemy may have to take many detours and make dozens or even hundreds of attempts before he or she may succeed.

The sect's alchemy recipe can guarantee that the apprentice can master it within one hundred furnaces and refine qualified pills.

One hundred furnaces, each furnace of Qi-nourishing Pills contains spiritual medicines worth two spirit stones, so one hundred furnaces of spiritual medicines cost two hundred spirit stones.

Purchase the Essential Elixir Guide, worth twenty Spiritual Stones. It describes the growth environments, properties, medicinal properties, pharmacology, and other related information for 160 common first- and second-tier spiritual herbs, along with illustrations and text, to enhance your knowledge.

After another three months, the new season of spiritual rice in the spiritual fields matured, and Shi Chen's spiritual rice yield increased again, reaching 400 kilograms per mu. Originally, 100 spiritual rice plants were planted per mu, but now 130 plants are planted per mu.

Nowadays, Shi Chen only needs half a day to look after the spiritual field, and the remaining half day is spent on refining pills or practicing magic, and practicing martial arts at night.

I mastered the four spiritual plant spells and reached the Great Perfection stage. In the second half of last year, I went to the sect's Dharma Pavilion and learned a few spells that could be learned at the first level of Qi Refining.

Lighting, fireball, thorn vine, water arrow, earth wall, and golden sword.

My daily schedule is packed and I rarely go out.
